Dance producers were getting it done this week. There were so many great dance (or dance-influenced pop) videos this week that I wish MTV would reboot Amp so that stoned college kids could come home after parties and zone out while discovering them, the way some of us might’ve done once upon a time. I… More »

The actor Oscar Isaac is supposed to be great in Inside Llewyn Davis, but I haven’t seen that movie yet, so I mostly still know him as the husband from Drive. And I’m happy to report that the husband from Drive is once again great in Danish producer Trentemøller’s video for “Gravity,” a collaboration with… More »

Danish electronic music producer Trentemøller has a new album out later this year called Lost, and its first single features the Drums’ Jonny Pierce. “Never Stop Running” is mostly a tastefully eerie electro exercise, though it modulates into a hook with a soaring feel and vocal, the sort of bittersweetly sweeping and dramatic harmonic movement… More »

Earlier this year, the Baltimore band Lower Dens released their very good, krautrock-skewing sophomore album Nootropics, and my daughter still can’t fall asleep without listening to it. On the new three-song EP Nootropics Remixed, the Danish dance producer Trentemøller reworks first single “Brains,” keeping the central pulse and the Jana Hunter vocal intact but carefully… More »

Last year, David Lynch recruited Yeah Yeah Yeahs leader Karen O to sing on “Pinky’s Dream,” a song from his Crazy Clown Time album. Now Danish dance producer Trentemøller has remixed the track, turning it into an even more sinister synth throb. It’s not all that often that a dance remix reminds me of the… More »

Reworked/Remixed, the new collection from the Danish electronic producer Trentemøller, features two CDs’ worth of his remixes, including work for high-profile clients like Depeche Mode and Franz Ferdinand. And below, you can download the opening track, “Sycamore Feeling (Marie Fisker Version),” which features the Danish singer. We’ve also got the song’s video, in which Fisker… More »

The Doors are part of a very specific category of classic-rock artists: the gateway artists. The bands that — assuming you weren’t around in the ’60s — are amongst the first names you explore when you start digging into pop music’s past. Though keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore were all… More »

Last night, U2 played the seventh night of an eight-night stand at Madison Square Garden. (Our own young classic rocker Ryan Leas reviewed one of those shows earlier in the week.) And at last night’s show, the band introduced a few special local guests. There was New York royalty Paul Simon, who came out to… More »

After reportedly showing up half an hour late, rapper Travi$ Scott got his Lollapalooza set shut down after only 5 minutes by encouraging fans to jump the security barrier and rush the stage. Festival organizers deemed the resulting chaos to be unsafe and shut the whole thing down, with security forcibly removing Scott from the… More »

Morrissey often uses his True To You website to write about cases of what he considers to be societal injustice, as he did in the recent post blasting the killer of Cecil the lion. But as Pitchfork points out, Morrissey’s latest post for the site details a much more personal violation. Morrissey writes that, a… More »

Eminem is a pretty fit dude — for a while, he was even attached to star in Antoine Fuqua’s new boxing movie Southpaw. So how does Eminem stay a pretty fit dude? By working out compulsively. And in a new article on Men’s Journal, the rapper details his compulsive exercise regimen. “In the early days,”… More »

Lollapalooza takes place this weekend in Chicago, and most of the sets from the festival will be livestreaming via Red Bull TV in case you can’t (or don’t want to) leave the comfort of your own home.

Superproducer Mark Ronson stopped by for a live in-studio session at Australian radio station Triple J today. As usual, he assembled a crack team of musicians to back him up, including Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and Kirin J. Callinan on guitar.

Drake has already released not one but two diss tracks in response to Meek Mill’s ghostwriting allegations.
